Dearest Colt and Jackson,
While Grandma was visiting us last weekend, we tried to show her a good time. We went to Plano on Saturday for their Balloon Festival. We got there just as the first round of balloons were starting to launch. It was fun to watch them lift off and fill the sky!
We then cruised around a claustrophobic's worst nightmare and picked up some drinks and snacks. You boys switched places and I captured you in a sweet moment!
After realizing that the lines were much too ridiculous to wait for any of the games/activities, we headed back to "the hill" to watch the second round of balloons. These were more decorative and got plenty of "ooh"s from you two.
Of course, the hill made the perfect spot for not only watching balloons -- but for racing each other also!
This pirate was a favorite!
We traveled into Dallas the next day to visit the Arboretum. We were excited to show it off to Grandma and even more pumped to see the Chihuly artwork that's currently on display! This beauty greeted us at the entrance and I knew it was going to be fun!
Not only was Chihuly's work there, but the artist's houses were still asking to be explored. I believe this is Monet's bridge.
And here you are checking out Seurat's house:
Picasso's casa was the most eclectic, of course!
And, if Chihuly and model homes aren't enough, they had just arranged their famous pumpkin village!!
This piece reminded me of Reunion Tower and it was appropriately named Dallas Star.
When you didn't seem to be in the picture posing mood, I turned the camera over and Daddy made it his mission to find and photograph every remaining piece of Chihuly glass on our way out.
It was a beautiful way to end our trip with Grandma!
